ALEX -ANDRIA.
FRIDAY EVENING, JULY 1.
THE BALTIMORE Ne,us says !:

"Really skillful mechanics are becoming
more and more scarce and trades are only
half learned Oldtim workmen were
nroud of their work and man would con.
slider himself guilty of piece OF Migrant
dishonesty to leave bad job behind him.
The artisan had as much pride in anything
he touched as was to be found in the lltera
nv creator. But there seems to be no such
feeling now. Men are only half educated at
their trades and about the only thing tnaI
gives real concern is the question OF pay"
The breaking up of the old apprentice
system is the cause of this evil, and its res
toration will be the only cure. The GA
zsrrE was Informed some time ago by one
of the most reputable and respected en-
blowing mechanics in this city, that it was q
hard matter for him to get good native
iourneymen, and that the best skilled WORK
men he got now a.days were foreigners. Inere
was time, not so very long ago either, when
a mechanic took as much pride in his handi'
work as a writer does in the product OF his
mind. and would have been as much hurt
by sneers at his job as the latter ls by ao-
verso criticism of his article. But that time
is now thing of the past. Judging from
appearances, the fact that it has become so
has improved neither the moral nor the
material condition of the class referred to.
This country must have good mechanics,
and if it can not. get them at
home it will, as it has done, send
abroad for them, and thus is increased
the competition between American labor
and the cheaper labor of Europe. But for
all this, the labor unions still restrict the
number of boys permitted to learn trades.
The evil effect of this compulsory idleness
upon the excluded boys is patent in every
town and city of the entire country.

Mrs ANNIE J. PEAKE was born in Rappahan-
mock county, Va, February p. 1S6o and died at
Alexandria, Va. June 2S, 1887. She was the
daughter of William A. and Sarah J. Lillard.
July 10, 1885, she was united in marriage to Mr..
w. NJ. Peake. Mrs. Peake possessed the qualities
of noble woman in high degree. She was
amiable and intelligent. As child she was al
ways dutiful as wife and mother she was low
ing and devoted. In the seventeenth year of her
age she protested conversion and united with the
Church Her consistent life was felt by all who
knew her. Her last sickness WAS brief, and
though the summons was sudden and unexpected,
she was ready When told that she was dying
she received the message with the utmost compo-
sure Her death was that of the righteous
peaceful and triumphant. She requested all pre-
sent to repeat the Lords prayer with her. This
being done, she gave to each one parting word
with request for them to meet her in heaven, and
bidding all farewell, she fell aeleep in Jesus.
Lone are the paths and sad the bowers,
Whence thy meek smile is gone;
But oh brighter homo than ours,
In heaven, is now thine own RS.

JaYbirds Act as Peacemakers.

A resident of Memphis, Mo-, erected on his
lawn Il large bird house, intended as the sum-
mer house of flock of martins. 1t was
three-story affair, and three varieties of birds
Inhabited it-marlins, bluebirds and spar
rows. The mixture of breeds did not appear
to cause discomfort for long time. Each
bird nation gathered sticks and straw and
other material for nests, and harmony pre-
vailed for weeks. One day, however, this
gentleman's family discovered that there was
something wrong with the Inhabitants of the
airy house en- the lawn. There was unusual
commotioD, a squalling, peckng and flutter-
ing which denoted trouble in the hitherto
happy family. A close watch brought the
further discovery that the martins and blue
birds had Joined forces and were making q
mighty effort to drive the sparrows off the
premises. The sparrows battled puckily for
their home, but were in the end doomed TO
defeat and ignominious fight. Opposite the
lawn in neighbours yard stood several large
oaks A small colony of bluejays had pre-
empted homes there. The sparrows, on be-
ing forced from homes and nests, took refuge
in the oaks. Their advent was followed by
bird chatter, and chirp, and squat, participat-
ed in by both sparrows and jays The noise
attracted the family, and now two households
were watching with interest the action ofthe
winged tribes, Shortly the sparrows, SEEM
ingly escorted by number of the jays, re-
turned to the lawn and home. This was fol-
lowed by conversation of bird music, in
which the jays took the prominent part. By
and by the bedlam of voices ceased, and the
jays did the talking or chirping. They soon
returned 10 the oaks leaving quiet and peace
on the lawn. The three bird colonies work
ed all summer without further jar or disagree
men'. Did the jays act the part of peace.

Cultiyating a Sweet Voice.

There is no power of love so hard TO get
and keep as kind voice. A kind hand is
deaf and dumb. 1t may be rough in flesh and
blood, yet do the work of soft heart, and do
it with soft touch. But there is no one
thing it so much needs as sweet voice to
tell what it means and feels, and it is hard to
get it and keep it in the right tone. One
must start in youth, and be on the watch
night and day, at work and play, TO get and
keep a voice that shall speak at all times the
thought of kind heart. But this is the time
when sharp voice is most apt to be GOT
You often hear boys and girls say words at
play with quick sharp tone, as II it were
the snap of a whip.
When one OF them gets vexed you will hear
voice that sounds as if it were made up of
snarl, a whine and bark. Such voice
often speaks worse than the heart feels. 1t
shows more i'll will in the tone than in the
words. 1t is often in mirth that one
gets voice or tone that is sharp,
and sticks to him through life, and stirs up
ill-wll and grief, and falls like drop of gall
on the sweet joys at home. Such as these
get sharp home voice for use and keep their
best voice for those they meet elsewhere, just
as they would save their best cakes and pies
for guests and all their sour food for their
own board. l would say TO all girls and boys,
use your best voice at home" Watch it by
day as a pearl of great price, for it will be
worth more to you in the days TO come than
the best pearl hid in the sea- A kind voice
is a lark's song to heart and home. 1t is TO
the heart what light is to the eye.

To Young Men.

The waters have gone over me. But out
of the black depths, could be heard, wrote
Charles Lamb, could cry out TO all those
who have but set foot in the perilous food
Could the youth to whom the flavor of his
first wine is delicious as the opening scenes OF
life, or entering some newly discovered para
disc, look into my desolation and be made to
understand what dreary thing it is when
man shall feel himselfgoing down precipice
with open eyes and passive will-to see his
destruction, and have no power TO stop il,
and yet feel it all the way emanating from
himself to see all godliness emptied out of
him, and yet not able to forget time when
it was otherwise; TO bear about him the pite-
GUS spectacle of his own ruin. Could he see
my fevered eyc-fevered with the last nights
drinking, and feverishly looking for to-nigbt's
repetition of the folly; could he but feel the
body of the death out of which l cry, hourly
with feebler cutlery, to be delivered, it were
enough to make him dash the sparkling
beverage to the earth in all the pride OF its
temptation.
